Disney Plus has canceled its Goosebumps streaming series after just two seasons, per Variety. The show, based on the popular kids' horror novels of the same name by RL Stine, functioned more like a kiddy version of American Horror Story, with each of its two seasons incorporating elements of the Goosebumps mythos while telling its own story with its own cast.

The first season starred Justin Long, Rachael Harris, Zack Morris, Isa Briones, Miles McKenna, Ana Yi Puig, and Will Price, focusing on a group of high school friends drawn into a ghostly mystery, similar in some ways to the early Goosebumps novel The Ghost Next Door.
